Chapter 258 Sui Sui's Little Sweet Talk

He sent him that message.

Huo Zhizhou replied as before: "Before trying to matchmake someone, investigate their character, family background, and attitude towards relationships to make sure they truly love your mommy."

Upon seeing this sentence, Sui Sui's mental state collapsed even more.

What exactly happened between Dad and Mom?

They actually let him matchmake?

“Looks like you don’t love Mommy as much as you say.” Sui Sui changed her approach, “You’ve already forgotten all about her right after the divorce.”

Huo Zhizhou looked out the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

If I hadn't agreed to Ruan Ruan's request.

How could he let her leave?

Since he can't bother her in this lifetime, he might as well respect all her and Sui Sui's choices.

With that thought in mind, he composed himself, replied with a few words, and then returned to his work: "Go to bed early."

The little girl's face showed some emotions.

His father's words were very unlike what a father would say. If it weren't for his piano tutor coming tomorrow, he would have flown back to Jingzhou to find him and get to the bottom of things.

That night, none of the "family of three" slept well.

Jiang Ruan was sleepless until almost dawn, Huo Zhizhou stayed up all night, and Sui Sui didn't fall asleep until two or three in the morning.

When Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui came downstairs for breakfast, yawning repeatedly, Jiang An jokingly asked when he saw them, "Did you two go out to play behind my back last night?"

Sui Sui and Jiang Ruan exchanged a glance.

I can't exactly say I'm having trouble sleeping because I miss my dad/Huo Zhizhou.

"Should I tell your piano teacher you don't need to come today?" Jiang An asked, noticing Sui Sui's obviously unwell state. "So you can get some more sleep?"

Sui Sui tilted her little head and looked at Jiang Ruan: "Is it okay?"

“Okay.” Jiang Ruan didn’t have high demands, as long as the tutor gave her some extra compensation.

"Can I hire tutors for the remaining days?" Sui Sui asked tentatively, "including extracurricular classes."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Jiang An was also somewhat surprised.

Sui Sui scratched her little head: "I want to take advantage of the National Day holiday to go back to Jingzhou and get some things."

With just one simple sentence, Jiang Ruan understood instantly.

Sui Sui wanted to go back to see Huo Zhizhou.

If it were just a matter of taking something, he would have Huo Zhizhou send it to him.

"Okay." Jiang Ruan basically agreed to all of the child's requests. "When do you want to go back? So I can buy tickets."

Sui Sui thought for a moment: "Afternoon."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

Sui Sui looked at the page on her phone and said, "Mommy."

Jiang Ruan was still buying: "Hmm?"

"You can just have Uncle Mo take me home." Sui Sui thought about what her father had said last night and guessed that they might have made some kind of agreement. "I'll have my father pick me up at the airport."

Jiang Ruan paused in her ticket-buying action, then after careful consideration, agreed: "Okay."

That afternoon.

Jiang Ruan took him and Mo Mo to the airport.

I wanted to tell Huo Zhizhou, but after much consideration, I dialed Jiang Yu's number instead.

“Miss Jiang.” Jiang Yu answered almost instantly.

"Sui Sui will arrive at Jingzhou International Airport in two hours. Have someone pick her up," Jiang Ruan explained. "Just contact me directly if anything happens."

Jiang Yu subconsciously glanced at his boss, who was still reprimanding a group of senior executives.

Jiang Ruan asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

"No." Jiang Yu quickly denied it, then asked the question that had been bothering him, "I'm just wondering why you didn't just tell the BOSS directly."

In my private heart.

He still hopes that Miss Jiang and the BOSS will get back together.

"I don't have his phone number," Jiang Ruan casually made up an excuse.

"Okay, I'll relay that to the BOSS right away." Assistant Jiang didn't expose her, understanding her actions. "Besides the young master, is there anyone else?"

"And there's bodyguard Mo Mo. He'll come back after delivering Sui Sui to you." Jiang Ruan explained everything as clearly as possible. "You just need to pick up Sui Sui."

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

As the call ended, my heart started racing.

They were supposed to have a day off today, but this group of people insisted on provoking the boss. Not only did they fail to complete the task assigned last month, they were also tricked by Huo Sinian's people.

"Assistant Jiang... please put in a good word for me."

"We really didn't expect that it was a trap set by Young Master Huo."

"I promise there won't be a second time! Okay?"

Several people standing nearby pulled him aside and whispered to him, not wanting him to continue being scolded.

“This is a mistake on your part, and I can’t help you with it.” Assistant Jiang never showed favoritism in such matters. “The fact that the BOSS didn’t dismiss you is already out of consideration for our years of friendship.”

Everyone opened their mouths, but then hesitated to speak.

They knew they had made a huge mess this time, but...

Assistant Jiang walked past them to Huo Zhizhou's side and said in a low voice, "Miss Jiang called. The young master will arrive at the airport in two hours. She wants us to pick him up."

After a moment's pause, Huo Zhizhou instructed, "Go and make the arrangements."

"Okay." Assistant Jiang immediately went to prepare the car.

After he left, Huo Zhizhou's cold gaze fell on the people in front of him, carrying an extremely strong sense of oppression: "I'm giving you a chance to make amends. I want to see the results when the holiday ends."

"Okay." Everyone agreed, feeling a little relieved.

Huo Zhizhou got up and left, the wind he carried with him was chilly.

The executives stood there, not daring to breathe, until Huo Zhizhou's figure disappeared from their sight, only then did they get a chance to catch their breath.

"If it weren't for Assistant Jiang, we'd probably be finished this time."

"It's all your fault for making this mess. If you hadn't fallen for Huo Sinian's trick, would I have even missed my vacation?"

"Don't just talk about us, you're all the same."

"Stop arguing, the most important thing right now is to make up for the mistakes we made before."

"What do you think Assistant Jiang said to President Huo that stopped him from scolding us?"

The group exchanged glances and shook their heads.

They could never have guessed such a thing.

After leaving the conference room, Huo Zhizhou went straight to the airport with Assistant Jiang. He remained silent the whole way, realizing more clearly that Jiang Ruan really did not want to contact him.

I'd rather tell Jiang Yu than him.

"BOSS." Assistant Jiang felt a chill run down his spine and forced himself to speak in an attempt to ease the tension.

Huo Zhizhou looked up.

Assistant Jiang suggested, "Why don't you go back and rest first, and we'll go pick up the young master? You didn't sleep all night, and staying up like this could easily cause health problems."

"It's nothing." Huo Zhizhou could roughly guess why Sui Sui had come over.

Assistant Jiang swallowed back the words he was about to say.

I know I can't persuade them.

Two hours later.

Sui Sui reunited with Huo Zhizhou.

Seeing that his father didn't look as well as before, he bluntly asked, "Uncle Huo, you look so tired, did you go out and cheat on someone last night?"

Jiang's assistant in the passenger seat: "!!!"

Lin Bei, who was driving: "!!!"

"If I were to steal someone, then what are you stealing with those dark circles under your eyes?" Huo Zhizhou never coaxed his son.

Sui Sui looked at him with her round, bright eyes.

Huo Zhizhou's voice rose at the end: "Can't say it?"

Sui Sui answered him in a very serious tone: "I miss you secretly."
